Academic Life

Wellington College Belfast offers a wide range of subjects for all students.

Religious Studies

The Religious Studies Department wish to promote the College motto UNA DISCAMUS: Let us Learn Together. We want to ensure that all students have the opportunity to maximise their potential in the curriculum area of Religious Studies and as a consequence develop academically, socially, emotionally and morally.

Art & Design

The Art & Design Department at Wellington College provides opportunities for pupils to extend their knowledge and build on their skills and capabilities in Art & Design. Through the implementation of the revised N. Ireland Curriculum the Art & Design Department endeavours to promote a culture of and a thirst for Life Long Learning which facilitates and promotes transferable skills beyond the formal educational context.

Collaborative Courses

Wellington College is part of the South Belfast Area Learning Community.

Computing/ICT & BCS

Effective ICT & Computing teaching provides pupils with the tools to take control of their learning: they can engage with technology effectively and can work both independently and with others.

Careers

The world of work is undergoing major change with old jobs disappearing and new opportunities becoming available largely due to the impact of technology and the global market. With these facts in mind we believe that an effective careers and guidance programme is even more crucial for our young people. This view point is clearly supported by CCEA as we see Education for Employability at the heart of the revised Northern Ireland Curriculum and with the new CEIAG guidelines from the Department of Education. The aims of the department have been adapted to meet these new requirements.

Science (KS3)

We aim to engage our students in Science both in and outside the classroom. Through exploring scientific concepts with enquiring minds, the students not only further their knowledge and understanding but get involved in competitions, trips, events and explore opportunities which lead to lifelong learning and open doors to science careers.
